INTRODUCTION
Fire alarm systems - an overview
The primary purpose of a fire alarm system is to provide an early warning of a fire so that people and
animals can be evacuated and action taken to stop the fire as soon as possible - all according to a
predetermined plan.
Alarms may be raised automatically, by smoke or heat detectors, or manually by a person operating a
manual call point.
To ensure an alarm is dealt with in an orderly manner, it is important to know where the alarm is
coming from. To aid this function, fire alarm systems are usually split into zones, each covering a
different area of a building.
When an alarm has been raised, the panel responds by indicating the zone(s) in which the alarm has
occurred and activating all relevant outputs (sounders, bells, strobes, beacons, relays, etc.) to provide
a warning of the fire.
Scroll through any fire, pre-alarm and fault conditions that are displayed on the panels display
View any disablements or zones that are being tested (if applicable)
Test the panels lamps (its LED indicators and display) to ensure they are working correctly
Determine the total number of times the panel has been in a fire condition
Gain entry to access level 2 (authorised user level) and, if you are an engineer, access level 3.
Access level 2 is the authorised user level which is available to authorised, trained personnel only.
Access to this level is achieved by either, the input of a special four-digit code using the panels
pushbuttons, or by turning the panels keyswitch to the armed position (I).
At access level 2, the panels Silence, Reset and Investigate buttons become active and users are able to:
Scroll through any fire, pre-alarm or fault conditions that are displayed on the panels display
View any disablements or zones that are being tested (if applicable)
Enable or disable zones, sounders, outputs, relays and devices (as appropriate)
Print, display and/or reset the panels event history
Set the time and date
Change the entry code to access level 2 from its factory default.
Access level 3 is the panels engineering/programming level. On no account should access level 3 be
accessed by anyone but an authorised system engineer. A fire panel is a piece of life safety equipment and
unauthorised access may affect the way the panel functions, endanger life and void its warranty. If you
are an authorised engineer, details of access level 3 can be found in the separate Engineering manual.

USER RESPONSIBILITIES
BS5839-1 is the British Standard code of practice for the design, installation, commissioning and
maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings. Section 7 of the standard (User
Responsibilities) states that a named responsible person should be appointed to supervise all matters
pertaining to the fire alarm system {clause 47.2a}.
Highlighted below is a summary of the main functions the responsible person is expected to carry out
with regard to BS5839-1 only. It does not highlight any other responsibilities that may be required of
the user or responsible person that are listed in documentation such as the Employers Guide to Fire
Safety, the Fire Precautions (Workplace) regulations and/or any other legislation relevant to the
premises. If in doubt, the fire authority can advise on the fire legislation that applies to any given
building. For countries outside the UK, different user responsibilities may apply.

NORMAL CONDITIONS
In normal mode (when no fires, faults or pre-alarms are occurring), one of the following messages will
be displayed at the panel:
Time
Date
System status
24 Jun
: Normal
10:59:34
FREDCO WAREHOUSING
Options
: Normal
: Normal: occupied
: Normal: unoccupied
: Outputs delayed
: Disablements active
: Zone tests active
: Calibrating
Outputs delayed is displayed if one or more delays to outputs have been programmed into the panel.
It indicates that certain outputs (which may include sounders, relays and/or output units) will not
trigger in the event of a fire alarm condition for a set period of time, as programmed by the system
engineer. Pressing the More Information button in a fire alarm condition will give more information
about delays.
Disablements active is displayed if one or more disablements have been programmed into the panel
by an authorised user or engineer. If required, you can view these disablements at access level 1 (or, if
you are an authorised user, you can cancel them (or set additional disablements) at access level 2.
Zone tests active is displayed if one or more of the fire alarm systems zones have been programmed
into test mode by an authorised engineer. When a zone is in test mode, any fire alarm conditions
raised on it WILL NOT be reported to the panel in the normal way. As such, this message should only
appear when an engineer is working on the system. If required, you can view which zones are in test
mode at access levels 1 or 2. Zones can only be taken out of test mode by an authorised engineer.
Calibrating... is displayed if automatic adjustments are taking place to allow the systems smoke and
heat detectors to perform at their optimum level. Normally, this message only appears at 04:00 hours
although it is possible that an engineer may have programmed this to happen at an alternative time.
Whilst calibrating, the display will list the ID code of the device being calibrated, i.e. L:1 D:154 and
the system will not return to normal until the process is complete.

Pressing the More Information button at any time will give you details of the actual device(s) that are
in a fire condition on the zone that is on the top line of the display. These can be scrolled through
using the 5and 6buttons.
In the event of a fire condition, the buildings fire management plan should always be
executed.
Authorised users can silence or reset the system as appropriate by entering access level 2 and pressing
the buttons on the panels front. Details on how to do this can be found on page 14.

PRE-ALARM CONDITIONS
Pre-alarm conditions are designed to warn the user that a smoke or heat detector is registering an
increase in conditions that could lead to a fire. Pre-alarms must be taken seriously as a fire condition
could be imminent.
In the event of a pre-alarm condition:
the panels internal sounder (if enabled) will pulse;
the panels display will show details of the smoke or heat detector which is in pre-alarm, for example:
